Should Federal Officials be tried for Treason for aiding Al Qaeda?

[The2ndAmendment]

Article III, Section 3, United States Constitution:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason.

Here is the punishment Congress has prescribed for treason:

18 USC § 2381 - Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death.

It's no secret that if you or I aided and abetted Al Qaeda, that we'd be hit with a drone strike. Why are the Federal politicians permitted to engage in treason?

It's no secret that if you or I were even remotely suspected of aiding and abetting Al Qaeda, we'd be kidnapped under the NDAA and sent to Gitmo.

Al Qaeda are real "hater dupes"

 

[tinydancer]

The FSA are radical Islamists as well.

What the hell is Washington thinking when all they want to do is to weaken Assad's military?

Do they want to just hand AQ and the FSA the keys to all the chemical weapons?

 

[aaronleland]

First, we would have to alter historical records to acknowledge that Reagan was guilty of treason for arming Iran. See how "conservative" opinions would change then.

Reagan is dead

Are you going to dig him up and give him a posthumous trial?

I'm just wondering if the Republicans would recognize their man-god as treasonous, since they seem ready to put Obama in jail.

EDIT: I never said we had to put Reagan on trial. We would just have to rewrite history books to recognize him as treasonous for arming our enemies. Fair enough?

Republicans and Neo-Cons? No.

Libertarians and Constitutionalists, yes.

What does this have to do with the topic at hand?

Continue derailing and you get a neg.

I hate communist and religious extremist.

These two groups have done more to kill and destroy freedom then any other.
